A SkyLease Cargo Boeing 747-400F cargo plane ran off Halifax Airport's Runway 14. The plane was on flight GG4854 from Chicago-O'Hare, coming to a full stop and reporting considerable damage. No injuries have been registered. (airwaysmag.com) Mais...

not sure what the weather was like but i read that the 747 landed MT to pick up a load of seafood then on to Japan. My question is even if MT, unless winds were an issue why did it land on the shorter runway 14?

This article doesn’t give a whole lot of info but the winds were most certainly NOT favoring this runway ... was anywhere from 5-8 knot tailwind component, wet runway, low ceilings and mist. I’ll leave my opinions off this post but you can guess what they might be.
